May the Lord richly bless you as you seriously study the Book of Mormon!
Thank you for your study and preparation, then sharing with us in clarity this wonderful sermon! It just keeps getting better and better!!
Thank you for the simplicity and clarity you used to explain these difficult chapters.
Glad it was helpful!
This was so powerful and the best explanation of this sermon and one that I really needed to hear. There is so much packed in here and I feel the Lord inviting us to find layers and layers in it, and this lesson really helped me get a scaffolding so I can come back to it again and again. Thank you!!
These are chapters worth a lifetime of study!
I appreciate the work John put into putting this together and making it applicable into ourselves. At the 30 minute mark he comments that it’s unclear how these things are going to take place. I’m here to testify that if you pray to the father for inspiration regarding this, he will reveal how this is going to happen. I’m not allowed to put my revelation regarding this here in these comments. I’m just here to encourage you to find out for yourself. If he revealed them to me, he will reveal them to you.
Thank you for concentrating on these 3 chapters, explaining and expounding them. Loved it.
I'm glad it was helpful!
Wonderful class!! Lots of good ideas for my class next Sunday!!! Thank you!!!❤❤❤
I'm very happy you can use this class in your teaching!
Thank you Brother Hilton. This lesson was so good and really helpful in understanding a difficult passage of scriptures. Your explanation is amazing and your testimony at the end really touched my heart.
Fantastic lesson! Thanks Bro Hilton!
Thanks Dino!
So grateful for your gift of teaching and blessing my life with your talents. Great and super inspiring class.
I just started the video but had to leave a comment - I have been thirsting for knowledge on this topic and then this appears in my RUclips feed! Thank you!!!! ❤
I enjoy listening to you, the knowledge I get is really valuable. Thanks so much !!!
Thanks for being a part of the class!
Listening to your podcast brought David A Bednar and President Nelson's General Conference talk to the forefront. Thank you for your podcast.
Excellent!
You are a great American, Johnny, and well versed in scripture.
It’s always a pleasure spending my Sunday morning with you
Thank you for adding hope to my peace in this lesson.
I'm grateful you're finding peace in Jesus Christ!
Thank you, Brother Hilton. Your added knowledge and spirit clarified so many points for me.
Wow! Thanks for explaining this so plainly. I can see how the story of the 10 virgins applies here, because many (the five unprepared) can so easily miss, or take lightly, or disregard this message. Especially as applying to the gentiles.
I hope we won't disregard these words from the Savior!
Thank you for your insights! This is the podcast I recommend to people who are looking for help with the scriptures, but who don’t feel they can devote 2-3 hours to a weekly podcast. You always provide a good 30,000-foot view and your study techniques are great for getting us to look at things in a different way.
Thank you so much again! 🇨🇦❤
Just beautiful Brother Hilton ❤️
This was so informative and inspiring!
I just love your lessons. ☀️❤️Thank you for sharing with us.
My only struggle is being raised by a mentally ill abusive Father. When I hear God threaten with wrath and anger being kindled it triggers me so badly.
I’m trying to trust our Father as a God of love, patience, mercy.
And I just cannot reconcile with the anger and wrath expressed in the scriptures, since my mortal father seemed to find pleasure and satisfaction in hurting his children.
But thank you for teaching us so much about our Savior and His love and Plan. It’s next level glorious.
I just don’t want to love Him out of fear. I’m trying so hard to love The Lord because He is so good. ❤
Thanks for sharing this perspective. I'm sorry that you had an abusive father--I love that you're still making efforts to connect with your Heavenly Father.

You’re doing a wonderful work.
You’re going to have a wonderful gift that you have gathered up to offer our King!
Thank you for blessing so many of us.☀️🙏🏻
I am so sorry 😢. Thank you for sharing your hope and hard work with Heavenly Father. It's inspiring!
@@safrew1 Thank you❤️
We all have our journeys. Wish you the best too.☀️🙏🏻
Thank you again John. I know these latter-day macro matters are super important, but the learning disabilities of my mind leave me unsure about retaining things sometimes. Maybe because the Lord’s open-ended approach (no defined timeline) is harder for me - not that I’m complaining, whatever the Lord wants is always best - but I need to think more about how I can mitigate the challenging aspects of my learning style.
I'm confident that God will assist you!
I wonder how many ways the "gathering" of Israel may come about. I see a gathering through the Doctrine of Christ, through the solemnity of covenants, through the "highway" of the covenant path, through lineage declarations of Patriarchal blessings. We are witnessing this type of gathering before us now!
It's an exciting time to be alive and see the gathering in process!
@johnhiltoniii Bro Hilton, I think you meant to say 'Participating in the gathering of Israel "😁
Watched for 25 mins to hear you unpack 3 Nephi 21:10. Definitely one of the most curious verses in the BoM.
This whole section is incredibly deep!
@@johnhiltoniii - I can go deep. You want to unpack verse 10 in the comments? I would genuinely love to hear your take on this.
One other thing: ch 21 v 22-24 sure sound to me that the Lord is saying descendants of Lehi will build the city of New Jerusalem, while believing Gentiles and others of Israel who come there will assist them. I think it’d be wonderful to see the remnant of Jacob do most of the planning and preparation and construction work of this most precious and holy project. Such an accomplishment would be a very loving way for the Savior and the remnant of Jacob to express their confidence in and devotion to each other.♥️
How do you read this passage? Do you think I’ve essentially got it, or am I out to lunch?
Prayers did make Milton go from cat5 to a cat1 before it hit Florida! The path of Helene followed the BofM path and cars were cut down…. Yikes! Praying and helping others definitely helped these calamitous activities!
I was praying so hard during Milton after the devastating Helene. We were praying everywhere.
My 6yo son, without having seen any of the news, heard about the hurricane at school and he came home and drew a picture of the Florida panhandle, a huge spikey hurricane coming towards it, a huge tornado sucking up pets, and himself crying in a upside down house. I sat with him and tearfully hugged him, and then he drew a figure in the sky and told me that “Jesus is protecting Florida”.
The next morning, I woke up to learn the Milton went from a cat5 to a cat1.
The power of prayer is REAL. These little children know. ❤
Uh, the part about not eating sweets made me shiver 🥹
It's okay to eat sweets! ;)
@@johnhiltoniii Hallelujah! The Gospel IS true! 😁
@@michaeldunwoody3629yes
Question: In 3 Nephi 21:12...Who does the phrase "my people" at the beginning of the verse refer too?
I want to see more of the original footnotes put in by Parley P. Pratt. Eg 2 nephi 3:24 'indian prophet '... was changed in 1920 to read 'Joseph Smith '... why?
I think there is a little confusion here...the original Book of Mormon did not have footnotes. I believe the first footnotes appeared in 1879, and it's important to recognize that footnotes are NOT scripture--there can be mistakes in them.
A book in the Book of Mormon called Mosiah chapter 14 we find the whole 53rd chapter of Isaiah in King James English. The Mormons will argue that the people of that day (about 148 B.C.) had access to the Jewish Scriptures therefore quoted directly from the Old Testament prophet who lived about 600 B.C. If that were true, how is it they used 1611 English which had not even been translated yet? Obviously, Joseph Smith, or the writer of Mosiah had access to an English bible that was common around 1830 when Joseph Smith dreamed up this new church. It is plagiarism plain and simply. The BOM lists numerous things such as silk, horses, honey bees, coins, etc. that did not appear until hundreds of years later when the Europeans arrived. The Pearl of Great Price, Abraham chapter four shows a polytheistic view of God which no sane Rabbi would fall for.
Three questions (musings really)
1) another group “numbered among” another people was the children of Sam. They were numbered among the Nephites. And… we never even hear of “Samites”. Does to be numbered among Lehites mean to speak their language etc…
2) why did the Saints ever think they would be building Zion? Clearly, we will assist the people of Lehi to build it. I feel like anyone reading this chapter would know the pioneers didn’t have a chance.
3) are there layers that we are missing out on? We can reduce this chapter to the following “the gentiles will get the gospel and give it to the Lehites and then the wicked gentiles will be destroyed.”
Actually, that sounds very simple. But these are the words that were so difficult that people had to go home to rest the night before. Ergo We must be missing a whole level of meaning.
Regardless, thanks for breaking down with the text actually says. And thanks for your energy.
Thanks for this and your other comment. These are great questions to be thinking about!
I think you need to humble yourself and try again.
The great and marvelous work is yet to occur. Read 1st Nephi 13 and 14. This servant described in 3rd Nephi 21 comes after the restoration and is the great polarizing figure. Even MCkonkie admitted it was a future servant.
Most members will reject this servant because they have rejected the greater things because of their unbelief in the lesser things which is he Book of Mormon.
In 3rd Nephi 16 is says that when the gentiles sin against and reject the fulness of the gospel (brought forth by this latter day servant) they will become salt that hath lost its savor and will be cast out and trodden under foot.
Only way you can qualify as the salt of the earth is to entered the covenant of baptism in the LDS church.
As you know 3 Nephi 16 uses both the words "if" and "when" about the Gentiles. I pray that both individually and collectively we choose to repent and be numbered among the house of Israel.
@johnhiltoniii I agree. I have no doubt there will be those who will repent as they will become the nursing father's and mothers to the House of Israel. However, I think the numbers will be much smaller than most are willing to imagine if Isaiah is correct in what he saw and wrote about.
Who are you implying is that great "polarizing figure"? Joseph Smith?
@@Avoicecyringinthesuburbs Sounds like the immigration happening right now. And Elder Bednar's talk about not being prideful and instead be humble and charitable goes along with it.
@@bmwanlass His identity isn't really that important. It is the light and truth he brings along with one's ability to recognize and believe it.
If anyone bring any other gospel let him be accused.
No one gave joseph smith a word. Wake up
Hey my friend, thanks for sharing a verse from the Bible. I love the Bible! Of course you know that the "gospel" is the good news of Jesus Christ, and this gospel--the same good news you believe in, was preached by Joseph Smith and is in the Book of Mormon!
